Smoking Cessation therapy normally involves a single session lasting approximately 1¾ hours.
This therapy works by using the power of the subconscious mind to change the thinking processes, helping to make it very easy to help you stop.
People will often try to use their will power to stop smoking, however this can often create irritability, mood-swings, bad temper, cravings and possible weight gain.
